Apple plans to introduce a new paid health service alongside a blood pressure sensor and a system for detecting sleep apnea in the Apple Watch next year, according to a report from Bloomberg Wednesday. The paid health coaching service could provide a new area for Apple to develop recurring subscription revenues. Apple's blood pressure sensor will reportedly detect when a user's blood pressure is elevated, though it won't show their exact measurements. There's been speculation for years that Apple will eventually add blood pressure sensing to the Apple Watch. Healthcare companies like Omron also already offer watches that can monitor blood pressure.

Stock incentives are seen positively by the market "as higher stock prices directly boost such incentives," she said. Sony, which introduced stock incentives years ago for some management levels, recently changed its framework to make the incentives more attractive, a spokesperson said. "The stock incentives are aimed at beefing up engagement with employees and promoting their interest in raising corporate value." Today, employee stock incentives are also a way for companies to replace cross-shareholdings, a common practice where companies take stakes in partners to cement relationships and avoid activist investors. Despite its increasing popularity, just a quarter of top 100 Japanese companies have employee stock incentives compared to more than 80% in the United States or Germany, data by consulting firm Human Resources Governance Leaders shows.
